Increasing the surface hydrophobicity of silicone rubber by electron beam irradiation in the presence of a glycerol layer

Keyan Sheng et al.

Summary: This study developed a cost-effective method to increase the surface hydrophobicity of silicone rubber through electron beam irradiation in the presence of glycerol. It was found that the network structure formed on the silicone rubber surface was responsible for the increased hydrophobicity. This method has the advantages of cost-effectiveness, easy operation, and non-toxicity of glycerol, making it applicable for large-scale industrial production and modification of silicone rubber.

Low Temperature Deposition of TiO2 Thin Films through Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Processing

Suresh Gosavi et al.

Summary: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films were deposited on glass and silicon substrates using the atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) technique. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy were used to study the structure and morphology of the TiO2 thin films, showing strong UV absorption and efficient photocatalytic decomposition performance.

Scaling-up perovskite solar cells on hydrophobic surfaces

Furkan H. Isikgor et al.

Summary: The challenge of obtaining large-area perovskite solar cells with similar performance to lab-scale ones is largely attributed to a polarity mismatch between the perovskite-precursor solution and the underlying hydrophobic contact materials. By replacing DMSO with NMP in the co-solvent system, the binding energy is profoundly changed, enabling the formation of uniform and dense films over large areas. This work paves the way for the scalability of solution-processed perovskite optoelectronic devices.
